Homeless population and the city: an analysis of the re-signification of urban spaces

Abstract

The investigations proposed in this article intend to reflect on the relationship between homeless population and urban space, taking into account the meanings and conflicts produced in the urban fabric by this group. Therefore, our aim is to understand the way in which the individual relates to the space through their walk and the new meanings they produce in the environment they occupy. To comprehend this logic, we use a historical discussion to understand the urban model of the present city, from its spatial disposition to the emergence of its social problems.
